Advance solutions to crucial global issues in developing countries and create awareness by supporting solidarity across the globe

Setting Description:

Earth Rights Institute Living Lab programs are built upon the philosophy of the People’s Goals for Sustainable Development, a world-wide coalition of grass-roots organizations that serves as a platform from which policy decisions can be influenced both on a national and global scale. We offer a transformational academic and living environment to enhance your knowledge on issues such as strong participatory democracy, economic and social justice, and environmental protection within the cultural context of the region. Through sharing our relationships with local NGOs we provide the tools for an emerging generation of individuals to engage in sustainability and social justice at the grassroots level.
